Abstract
A microelectronic assembly (10) includes a polymeric card (12) that includes a substantially planar major surface (18). An integrated circuit component (14) is embedded in the polymeric card (12) and has a first contact (20) and a second contact (22). An antenna element (16) is formed of a singular metallic strip and includes a first terminal (26) electrically connected to the first contact (20), a second terminal (28) electrically connected to the second contact (22), and a loop (30) intermediate the first terminal (26) and the second terminal (28). The first terminal (26) includes a first outer surface (32) and the second terminal (28) includes a second outer surface (34). The first outer surface (32) and the second outer surface (34) are exposed at the major surface (18) and are coextensive therewith. The loop (30) is embedded within the polymeric card (12) and spaced apart from the major surface (18).
